Men live and die for an Idea
But the Idea is immortal
It can be prosecuted
It can be be judged
It can be prohibited
It can be sentenced to death
but the idea still lives
in the minds of men
wherever there is
side by side misery and struggle
sometimes It arises here,
sometimes It there, It continue its way through the centuries
injustice trembles face to It
to the oppressed It points the way
towards a better future
one in which it enters
no longer feels isolated
because above all is the idea.

Les hommes vivent et meurent pour une IdEe
mais L'IdEe est immortelle
on peut la poursuivre,
on peut la juger,
on peut l'interdire,
on peut la condamner A mort
mais l'IdEe continue A vivre
dans l'esprit des hommes
elle est partout oU existent
cOte A cOte la misEre et la lutte
elle surgit tantOt ici,
tantOt là , elle poursuit son chemin A travers les siEcles
l'injustice tremble devant elle
aux opprimEs elle indique la voie
vers un avenir meilleur
celui en qui elle pEnEtre
ne se sent plus isolE
car au dessus de tout est l'IdEe.
